Roosevelts and Their Descendants

Few families have influenced America like the Roosevelts--two presidents from different parties, including our longest-serving chief executive, and the "e;First Lady of the World."e; Born into aristocratic society, Theodore, Franklin and Eleanor (nee) Roosevelt shared a commitment to progress and the common good over class. Their lives have been the focus of numerous books but their legacy and the extended family they left behind warrant a closer look. This book chronicles "e;the Roosevelts"e; and "e;those other Roosevelts"e;--a family of individuals always striving to measure up but united by an illustrious past.
